Hey guys, I’m a kitchen worker at Lou Malnatis and thanks for everyone’s appreciation. It takes a lot of time and effort to prepare and make all the ingredients for a pizza like the dough and topping like the spinach mix. Btw this is my favorite pizza :)
@@briansolo Yes it is. In the video its a Large deep dish pizza so you would add a total of 19ish slices of mozzarella, depending on how many toppings you get. :))
I used to travel for work to Chicago a couple times a month and developed a taste for deep dish pizza. I used to bring pies home with me when I drove there in an ice chest. Now I make a Chicago style deep dish pizza at home about once a month. I used a 22 inch cast iron skillet for my pan and coat it butter and evoo than dust it with finely grated parmigiana cheese and stretch my dough out on the counter and transfer it into my preferred pan like a pie crust. As for how I top my pie just like what you saw on this video. As for the sauce I make my own from canned whole tomatoes and add some herbs and spices but my secret step is I drain the liquid from the cans of tomatoes and boil it down slowly until it’s basically a sauce and then add that back to whole tomatoes that I have chopped up but not cooked. Lastly because I like onions and artichokes I place sliced ones on top of the sauce along with a dusting of the undisputed king of cheeses and a drizzle of evoo
Absolutely beautiful...Grew up on the South side...hadn't done Lou's in a couple of years, but when I used to fly into the city and got downtown, I ducked into the store behind the Merchandise Mart and enjoyed a personal pan before I visited anyone. Thanks Lou!!
I visited Chicago for the first time in October 2021. I asked a friend who grew up in the Chicago area where to try deep dish pizza, her answer was Lou Malnati’s. Lucky for me, there was one about 6 blocks away from my hotel, so I ate there my last night before leaving. It was delicious!
You can have it delivered frozen from one of the various sites (Goldbelly etc.). It's not the same as eating at the actual restaurant but I tried it because I was interested in the Chicago style deep dish. It was an interesting tasty pizza that I wasn't used to.
I moved away from the Chicago area a number of years ago, but I miss Lou Malnati's so much. I make a pretty decent facsimile myself these days (thanks mostly to videos like this), but nothing beats an original from one of the legendary handful of places in Chicago that do them so well. One hell of a meal.
I was at Chicago 3 years ago and the when me and my mother got settled in our hotel, we went Lou Malnati's for Dinner!! The food was spectacular, love their deep dish. We will come back!!
I was just at GIORDANO'S for Father's Day. Haven't been there since 93. It was amazing. Their cheese pull was WAY WAY more...& they were going fast not slow. So imagine that. Solid cheese surrounded the entire slice
I’ve only been to Chicago once. While there I attempted to get as many different deep dish pizzas as possible and Lou Malnati‘s was my favorite. I wish I could own a Malnatis here in Tennessee. I think it would do phenomenally here.
When I order the first pie I always ask for easy sausage, otherwise it is like a sausage patty. The second one is called The Lou, the thin crust version is also delicious. Those seasoned pans make a big difference, crispy flavorful crusts! I know many Chicago ex-pats who get their taste of home from Lou Malnati's mail order.
I understand the easy sausage request. However, I enjoy the sausage patty, much to the chagrin of my cardiologist. Lou never disappoints, in my opinion.
@@MrFeleru Pretty sure this is the one on State (805 S State St, Chicago, IL 60605), the street I used to work. There is another one on Randolph (1235 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607), the street I used to live.
Amazing. you can tell this kind of food was created by people who knew what it was like not to have food. This pizza is definitely a celebration of bread meat and cheese cant wait to try this.

@@scorpioncoreuniverse8981 I'm from New York and I was supposed to go to Chicago for the first time this week but my trip was canceled. I'm pissed off because I wanted to try this deep dish pizza in the worst way.
Visited Chicago for the first time, a year ago. We took a walking tour of the city and a stop was in Lou’s. I was so disappointed when they set the spinach pizza in front of me. However, it was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Now, I have them shipped to my home. Delicious pizzas!
Made great with fresh ingredients,flavor color cooked very well, and cooked with style and heart love understanding on who to make a very good and tastes pizza.
This is the best video I’ve ever seen that beautifully depicts the making of one of the world’s best pizzas. The after baked shots were beyond the beyond. Lou’s is one of my fave spots in Chicago. I’ve also been to the one in Phoenix. Just the best. Hats way off to whoever filmed and edited this. Excellent job. I wish there was a Lou’s where I currently live but alas there is not. No Chicago style pan or stuffed pizza here. 😢 I learned a lot watching this. I’ve made stuffed and pan pizza before but never near as good as in the restaurants. I’m going to try again utilizing what I’ve learned here. Thanks!
@@artheriford It’s excellent. They also have a first rate Giordano’s as well. I used to buy 10 or 15 pies and freeze them for take home. Worked very well.
I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life of 56 years. Lou Malnatti’s has the best pizza in Chicago. The other top pizza places are Ginos East, Nancy’s Pizzeria Uno and Lyonna’s. But Lou clearly is the best. All homemade pizzas. 😆😆🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏼
My favorite pizza of all time. I order their frozen pizzas a few times a year. 6 for $119. Not a bad deal at all....delivered in two days and tastes better than any pizza chain

@@iramiaho You're welcome. I hope you enjoy yourself the next time you come visit. And, Chicago has many other attractions, and, great restaurants, as well.
People have a big misconception about pizza in Chicago. The favorite is Chicago thin crust, or often called pub or tavern pizza, the dough is folded, the then put through a dough sheeter multiple times to create a "cracker crust". They are always cut into squares after baking. Chicago Thin outsells deep dish (aka pan) by about 30 to one or more in the Chicagoland area. They love their deep dish, but it's only a once in a while treat, a single slice of deep dish averages 700 calories, and it's so good, that it's very difficult to eat just one piece.
Hi, you don't know what you're talking about. Most people get the tavern because there's more of those restaurants per square mile and they're about half the price of a deep dish. Don't use a video about deep dish to shit talk. I know you're insecure about your favorite pizza, but let the real Chicagoans enjoy their deep dish. You can move.
@joi8674 Exactly, idk where this new wave garbage of shitting on one style over the other came from, but the Tavern style lovers seem to be dealing with some inner insecurities or something. Chicago has produced two amazing styles of pizza, but for some reason tavern style lovers gotta cry about it.
Having lived in Chicago for 4 months and tried various deep dish pizza places, I can agree that so far Lou Malnati's is the best. Their Chicago Classic pizza which comes with sausage, and extra cheese on their buttercrust is simply divine.
@@molasorrosalom4846 they are whole crushed tomatoes not stewed and using these cost more than cheap sauce that’s been cooked before spreading. Here the natural tomatoes cook down while baking so more natural flavor. Most stuffed, pan, and deep dish places use cheaper sauce for cost savings and easier to make the pizza.
I had this for my rehearsal dinner for my wedding back in 1988 and it was the best thing ANYONE ever tasted! My family in Colorado nearly wet their pants and they are from Italy!!
Growing up in Chicago, I always thought Uno's and Duo's was the standard bearer for Chicago deep dish pizza, not saying this isn't bad pizza, living in Nashville I'll take either one in a heartbeat LOL
@@rayvirile I'm sure there is great pizza spots now, but I just grew up on Uno's, Lou Malnati's, and Geno's East. The smell when you walk into Uno's or Duo's was just unbelievable! The mozzarella cheese on Geno East's Pizza on Ontario was exquisite.
Lou Malnati's Chicago Classic is the only deep dish pizza I had when I lived in Chicago that I liked. Most locals eat the thin crust tavern style pizza in Chicago, but if you want deep dish definitely go to Malnati's. I've heard Pequod's is also good.
@@JROD082384 Giordanos deep dish is called stuffed pizza in CHicago. It is made similar to these Lou's pizzas in the video except and additional real thin layer of dough sits over the ingredients before the sauce is added to the top.
I’ve been working on an at home deep dish in a cast iron since moving to Texas. Pizza down here, for the most part, stinks. That pushing the sauce into the rest of the ingredients is so undeniably important. Thanks for this video!
This is without a doubt the best pizza in the world. We live in Florida and have them shipped to us several times a year. Every time we visit Chicago it is a mandatory stop at the restaurant.
The closest I have been to Chicago was when I was attending technical training at Chanute in 1982. I ordered my first pan pizza and managed only 2 slices as it was that filling! I have used Goldbelly to get Lou's shipped to Utah but there is something lost between restaurant and frozen. Still good but not as great. 😋
@@reggiem.c.5787 No it shouldn't. Dominos is okay at best but the local one off places have a low hit percentage. Out of every 10 of them my experience is two are good, three are okay and five are crap.

Agreed, it is the best and only deep dish pizza you should eat. Bobby Flay picked It for his deep dish pizza throw down. We always go for just cheese.
crumbled sausage is the way
@@pinacolaaadas preach brother
My favorite try the butter crust for a tasty treat. We have one locally always busy but oh so good!
Cheers
I'm lactose intolerant but I will risk it all for this pizza!
Have ypu ever taken a pro biotic? I did and I'm no longer lactose intolerant.
there is virtually zero lactose in cheese
@@Typon then why does it upsett dairy sensitive stomachs?
@@bigt4331 just checked and it's very soft cheese that hs barely been aged that has lactoses so yeah mozzarella has lactose
Eat it at home where it's safe 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite pizza, I have it shipped to my house fairly often, still comes out very well.
I've been to this place once, back in high school. It was absolutely amazing!
Wow! This is so incredible! I love traveling with you! : )))
Lo más delicioso que han visto mis ojos hasta el momento

never in my life have i ever had better pizza than Lou's. Fresh at the restaurant!
Best of the regional pizza styles and my favorite pizza without question.
Very generous on the ingredients. Looks awesome.
11:40 so good👍😍

This is exactly the amount of cheese I like in my pizza. That looks so stuffed with lots of yumminess
La vera pizza si fa a Napoli!
IMPARA!
@@quintoario4736 fake news 😂
I'm drooling now. Looks good. I want a slice.
@@quintoario4736 Boo Hoo Mussolini
Looks very good 👍 👌
I'll have a slice of each please
Thank you for sharing uploading
That pizza looks awsome, I can’t wait to place an order with you guys
Growing up in Chicago, I always thought Uno's and Duo's was the standard bearer for Chicago deep dish pizza, not saying this isn't bad pizza, living in Nashville I'll take either one in a heartbeat LOL
You still say this is valid today?
@@rayvirile I'm sure there is great pizza spots now, but I just grew up on Uno's, Lou Malnati's, and Geno's East. The smell when you walk into Uno's or Duo's was just unbelievable! The mozzarella cheese on Geno East's Pizza on Ontario was exquisite.
@@emmettjones8075 much appreciated❤️I’m going back soon to visit and am definitely checking out unos/duos
It was always Giordano’s 😉
Until they sold out and got too crazy with the menu selling triangle cheese sticks. I mean what is that?!
@@foosmonkey Yes, we had a Giordano's in my neighborhood (Hyde Park), but I still have to give it to Unos!
wow looks so delicious , mssed chicago style pizza, one of my favorite growing up in Chicago , IL
Damn good vid,no talking or cheesy music. A+ all the way!
FINALLY get to see Deep Dish that ISN'T overwhelmed by sauce!!! Still wish there were captions of food-placement/use
Alhamdulillah Tabarokallah, Good Luck
Hands down Lou Malnati’s makes the best deep dish! Gotta try “The Lou” pizza it’s my favorite!
It's like casserole.
That pizza is so good! Had it many times.
When the sauce hit the pie my mouth was watering. Man I miss those pies.
Oh my Goodness!! Looks AMAZING!!
Lou Malnati’s is good, but I like Gino’s East and Giordano’s better.
Lou Malnati's Chicago Classic is the only deep dish pizza I had when I lived in Chicago that I liked. Most locals eat the thin crust tavern style pizza in Chicago, but if you want deep dish definitely go to Malnati's. I've heard Pequod's is also good.
Giordano’s deep dish is fantastic as well.
I’ll have to go try Pequod’s next.
@@JROD082384 Giordanos deep dish is called stuffed pizza in CHicago. It is made similar to these Lou's pizzas in the video except and additional real thin layer of dough sits over the ingredients before the sauce is added to the top.
I’ve been working on an at home deep dish in a cast iron since moving to Texas. Pizza down here, for the most part, stinks. That pushing the sauce into the rest of the ingredients is so undeniably important. Thanks for this video!
Move back to Chicago ! Get out !
This is without a doubt the best pizza in the world. We live in Florida and have them shipped to us several times a year. Every time we visit Chicago it is a mandatory stop at the restaurant.
Wow! I wish I could have any one of these pizzas! To die for, simply amazing!!
Why was there ever any debate on which city has the best pizza? NY pizza is a step below frozen pizza.
It’s possible. But the truth is that most people in Chicago don’t like deep dish and prefer the standard thin types
The closest I have been to Chicago was when I was attending technical training at Chanute in 1982. I ordered my first pan pizza and managed only 2 slices as it was that filling!
I have used Goldbelly to get Lou's shipped to Utah but there is something lost between restaurant and frozen. Still good but not as great. 😋
I was at Chanute in 88. Never made it to Chicago definitely have regrets about that. I was a 39250
My wife and I were just in Chicago at the Navy pier last week. We had Giordano’s, would’ve love to have tried this deep dish tho
Original is Pizzeria Uno. The best.
Lou’s is the best, followed by Gino’s East, connies then maybe uno’s
that mushroom pizza looks fucking amazing
Man that looks good!!
LOVED this ASMR video!
I think that's what a Domino's Pizza would look like if you got 400$ worth of extras.... Lol Those pizzas look GREAT!!!!
Dominos?! Gotta expand ur mind and taste buds to great local pizza. That shouldnt be the first place that comes to mind lol
@@reggiem.c.5787 No it shouldn't. Dominos is okay at best but the local one off places have a low hit percentage. Out of every 10 of them my experience is two are good, three are okay and five are crap.
I only have one thing to say about your pizza, AWESOME 👏
Me apaixonei por essa pizza, quero preparar uma igual aqui no Brasil pra eu comer.... pizza linda e gostosa essa ....🍽❤
THE BEST IN THE WORLD !!! 👍😍👏 LOVELL IT ! 😍❤️😍
Coming from Chicago/Suburbs, Lou Malnati's was always amongst my top 1 or 2 pizza places; a must try if you visit!
My grandma always said: the secret is the dough.
right, if the dough sucks, the toppings can't save it
